POINTLESS presenter Alexander Armstrong was left slightly taken-aback during today’s instalment of the BBC quiz show, in a discussion over whether the Queen would invite him or Richard Osman for tea.

Alexander and Richard are firm friends and colleagues on BBC favourite Pointless, and are often seen throwing teasing jibes each others’ way.

Today the pair got into an amusing exchange about the Queen which quickly transitioned into a competition over who the 91-year-old monarch would invite round for “tea” at the palace.

It started when today’s contestants were given a question about quintessentially British subjects that were placed on 10 pence pieces for the Royal Mint collection in 2017.

The options were particularly tough and the answers didn’t come easily to any of the teams, but when the round drew to a close a cheeky Richard speculated over whether his Pointless friend could be on the front of one.
